and mediator had and obama promised to be more flexible right after elections but from what you're saying how how how much flexible can he really be or allow himself to be with this republican opposition in congress well i think that's the peculiarities of the american system and the congressman can freeze consideration of. very important issues just because the beef from his particular state is not being admitted to one country or in the other for the senate the reasons and. the issues of global importance could be just frozen because of the. interest of one single state in the united states'. interests having nothing to do with the substance of the issue in question so sometimes the issues of huge importance like the you know the israeli palestinian conflict and the need to settle it being the just for years and years. because of the peculiarity of the american. electoral cycles we would prefer. to approach international issues on the basis of the. merit and on the basis of the crying need to do something to get a result looking back at the or the mystic politicking or interests to be a
